1. I'm afraid that "Palestine Today" is about as credible as the "National Enquirer." Which is to say -- not very. 2. No man's land is 1,000 meters. Again, sorry. Got more?
32. Israel must make complain to UN against Palestinain Fascists
(09.15.10)
33. #6 - In the daytime???
William ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
Mortars cannot be used for illumination which is why they are specifically outlawed by Intl Laws. The use of phosphorous munitions by the IDF were in a different form, which exploded high in the sky (thus not hurting people below) and used at night. Hamas' actions were clearly a war crime, while the IDF's use of sky-munitions per Intl Law was deemed legal by ICRC and UN after accusation following Cast Lead.
34. Time for Operation Kol Nidrei!
Angry Jew ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
35. #7 - "worked their fields" - equipped with RPG launcher?
William ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
Isn't that the lazy man's way of farming? Exploding things instead of using a shovel and hoe? And, and they pointed it upwards, apparently to appease the Moon god for a good harvest...and the IDF just happened to mis-interpret it. dumbass.
36. #15 - do your job, call IDF command with info
William ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
Tell us where the leaders are and we'll take care of them. Just don't stand so close.
37. #30 - I have to say, it's morbid you photo the dead
William ,   Israel   (09.15.10)
and post their pictures all over the media in order to gain PR. Aside from that, the IDF responded to the exact location of where the RPG was fired from, a legal act under Intl Law. So again - do yourselves a favor and STAY AWAY from terrorists, dumbasses!
38. Thank You #30 Gazan
World Citizen ,   the world   (09.15.10)
I have been reading about this in all the world press but haven't seen a thing about it on Ynetnews. Of course we know why that is. Wouldn't want to upset the delicate sensibilities of Sarah and the rest of the hasbarim.
39. To Gazan: Photoshop or..
Christopher ,   Boston, MASS   (09.15.10)
simply wax workups? Looks like Paliwood working overtime with the help of Reuters artists
40. To: William at No. 37
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.15.10)
What I saw were photographs of two corpses -- one elderly gentleman, one youth. For all we know, they could have died of natural causes. Note that they were photographed in a morgue setting, not in situ. Trust me -- if they had died under the circumstances that Hamas claims, they would have been photographed (however gruesome) in situ. Do they think we are that stupid?
41. To: No. 38
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.15.10)
All I saw in the photographs were two corpses, wrapped in sheets. Clearly a morgue setting. One elderly gentleman, one youth, probably dead of natural causes, being cruelly used by Hamas for propaganda purposes. Have you people no shame? Don't you care about the sensibilities of the families? You have a long evolutionary row to hoe in order to achieve the level of Australopithicans, do you know that? You are such a perverse and depraved lot.
42. LOL...try again,loser!
Malone ,   Hfx   (09.15.10)
You're fairly pathetic.
43. # 31 Sara BS
Ray   (09.15.10)
no man's land is all of the Gaza strip to israel i think thats very clear
44. # 40: Died of natural causes????
Ray   (09.15.10)
can you say that with a straight face?
45. #41: You are such a perverse and depraved lot.
Ray   (09.15.10)
right back at you. i wont add anything you expressed Arab/Muslim/Palestinian view of israelis such as your self and many extreme right wing in israel very well.
46. #40: Dear Sarah
Israeli 2   (09.15.10)
as always here and as always the greatest. Just to let you know that they do NOT think that WE (Israelis) are that stupid but that people like #7 and the world citizens are THAT stupid.
47. Ignorant world citizen
X'   (09.16.10)
You would believe anything Hamas told you. After all, you are nothing but a bigoted Jew hating Islamo-Nazi supporting delusional useful idiot. Most house plants have more brains than you have revealed yourself to possess
48. #14 Sarah B
Lio ,   England   (09.16.10)
Sorry to burst your bubble, dear, - ''The 3 casualties were not involved in act of terror'' - Brig. General Eisenberg (IDF).
49. To No. 31
Gazan   (09.16.10)
Sarah, it's quite obvious that if we are to engage in debate by accusing our sources of being non-credible when we can't refute them, we will go nowhere. I wouldn't imagine that you would find the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights to have an inkling of credibility either. Hell, I bet even if the UN had documented the murder, you wouldn't find that credible either. Therefore, we have nothing to discuss, on this topic, at least.
50. Yet more fallout from Israel's insane Gaza withdrawl.
Chaim ,   Israel   (09.16.10)
One thing Israel should always keep mind about all the atrocities being inflicted on us from Gaza. There is ONLY one reason we are suffering from these phosphorous bombs, thousands of rockets from Gaza, our last Gaza war, the hostile flotillas etc. That reason is, of course, Israel's insane Gaza withdrawl. Had we stayed in Gaza, we'd still have beautiful thriving Gush Katif. And we'd never suffer these abominations. End Israeli retreat and most of Israel's suffering will end.
51. Gazan, #49
R ,   Israel   (09.16.10)
Unfortunately, there is proof that so many media sources, including formerly respected international media sources, have been doctoring pictures, reporting without properly verifying the facts, and slanting the reports. It's hard to know what to believe.
52. ok so now palis can't accuse Israel since
ghostq   (09.16.10)
they r using phosphorous themselves. and they r shooting harmless Israeli civilians, just in case of UN investigation they can be punished. ti hi.
53. No worth as a smokescreen = war crime
Zvi   (09.16.10)
HRW is yelling about it? No? What about the UN? Nothing? Silence? Oh, well, more Blatant Double Standards from the paid attack dogs of the so-called human rights community.
54. all bombs are not created equal
Tomek ,   Poland   (09.16.10)
Even Israeli cops say that "such bombs do not cause any more damage than a standard mortar shell" so they are not in the same league as the phosphorus bombs Israel was dropping on Gaza some two years ago.

Gladstone has been dead quite some time now. You need to update yourself on the hulla kibbutz.
56. #42
Hal ,   Usa   (09.16.10)
So you are laughing out loud at what exactly? "You're fairly pathetic"? Are you doing a little introspection here Malone? You slammed me on another topic as making a useless post, so what would you call this post of yours? If you were Mahmood I would question your sanity. Since your post here is beyond obscure, maybe you can clear up the confusion.
57. To: No. 49
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.16.10)
You are pretty much correct. The "Palestiinian Centre for Human Rights" has absolutely no credibility. The United Nations has no credibility either. Got anything else? Didn't think so.
58. To: No. 44
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (09.16.10)
Yes.
59. don't know why gazans are complaining
Barney ,   USA   (09.16.10)
they got what they asked for. WAR
60. #3- "Back" to the Stone Age?!
Ari Olvera ,   Tel-Aviv Israel   (09.16.10)
A bit redundant, don't you think?? :P
